Mnangagwa said the recently enacted Prisons and Correctional Service Act will transform the country’s prisons and correctional system in accordance with global standards. “I urge you, therefore, to always adhere to the policies and procedures as directed by the newly enacted Prisons and Correctional Service.

I am confident that the new Prisons and Correctional Service Act will transform the country’s prisons and correctional system in line with international best practices,” he said.

Relations must be strengthened because sharing experiences and best practice help enhance and improve the management of our prisons and correctional facilities,” Mnangagwa said. “To date, we have since approved the construction of modern and state of the art correctional facilities in Gwanda, Matabeleland South and Hurungwe in Mashonaland West provinces respectively. ” The war in Ukraine had magnified the slowdown in the global economy, which was now entering what could become “a protracted period of feeble growth and elevated inflation,” the World Bank said in its Global Economic Prospects report, warning that the outlook could still grow worse.

Last month German Foreign minister Annalena Baerbock, a leader of the Green Party, which entered a coalition government last fall with Prime Minister Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats, pledged that Germany would stop importing oil from Russia by the end of 2022, and wean itself off Russian natural gas as soon as possible.

In the short-term, that may mean finding alternative suppliers for fossil fuels, including the United States.
